Not only did I have to deal with ads, but they also gave me posts from subreddits it thought I would be interested in. I had carefully constructed my frontage to be subreddits I was interested in, but now still had essentially ads for OTHER subreddits, hoping of course I would subscribe to them too and then get more ads overall.
Feels very dirty now. Glad to leave. Sucks though. I've been using Reddit for a very long time now.
Yeah, it's Facebook now.
Those posts from subreddits you're not subscribed to will very soon be replaced organic looking advertisements. Along with the advertisement looking advertisements.
Eventually it will just be a place to learn what's new and on sale.
